He should be rubbed out for atleast 5 matches. Bell had his head over the ball, and Johnson had no other intention than knocking his head off! He faced the tribunal last week and got a reprimand, with that in mind surely it will have to be a hefty suspension if the AFL are serious about protecting the players from head high contact.

it was a terrible hit, bell looked f***** when he went town.
to Johnosons defence, he looked very remorseful and worried for the rest of the game, a bit later when some melbourne players were bumping him and digging there sholders in, he did not retaliate or even defend against it, like he thought he deserved it, apparently after the game he did not join the team for the song, but instead went to check on the wellfare of bell.
still will get and deserve weeks, shocking hit, his season is over.

Heard Bondy (the worlds foremost tribunal expert) on AW discussing it this morning.
He classifies it as high contact. Says that if they classify it as reckless he will get 6 weeks (4 with the early guilty plea), or if they classify it as intentional, he will get 8 weeks (6 with the early guilty plea).
Dog act. He ran right off his line to hit him. Don't care that he is remorseful afterwards. Hitting someone when their head is over the pill = weak.
